This study examines the distribution of folate-derived compounds in rat urine on a daily basis after the administration of tracer doses of radioactive [3H]pteroylglutamic acid. The identification of 10-formyldihydropteroyl-glutamate in the rat urine, prior to equilibration of the tracer, is also reported for the first time.
